For over 50 years, Premier Medical Group of Mississippi has been providing quality care for their patients and referring doctors, serving both the Jackson and regional areas. The Medical Clinic began in 1949 when Dr. E.L. Posey returned to Jackson from the Mayo Clinic and opened an office to practice internal medicine on the corner of Manship and North Street. Dr. Samuel L. Stephenson joined Dr. Posey in 1952. Dr. F. Earl Fyke, Jr. joined the practice in 1957 after returning from military service and specialty training at the Mayo Clinic.
Jackson Medical Associates also had its beginning in 1945 when Dr. David Jennings Vanlandingham established an internal medicine practice in Jackson. Dr. J. Manning Hudson merged his practice with Dr. Vanlandingham in the mid 1950's. Dr. Robert E. Tyson, who had practiced in Holly Springs, joined the team in 1965. In 1971, Jackson Medical Clinic was established as a professional association when Dr. Dale Read, an endocrinologist joined the group. On January 2, 1996, two of the premier internal medicine clinics in central Mississippi joined forces.
